Dulux Satinwood paint (white) (Portobello EH15)
Sort of thing you would paint interior woodwork with. 2.5l can with only a wee bit out of it. Says clean with Dulux brush cleaner, so another white spirit based paint I think. Old can, but perfectly serviceable.

Gloss exterior paint (Buckingham green) (Portobello EH15)
Homebase paint (750ml) with about two thirds left. We painted our front door with this, but we have switched colours now. The dark grey bit in the name on the front refers to the undercoat colour to be used. Another white spirit based paint.

Undercoat paint (white) (Portobello EH15)
An almost full can (750ml) of Rustin's undercoat. I would use this for exterior use as it's an oil-based paint (clean brushes in white spirit). Another old can but perfectly serviceable.

Floor paint (Portobello EH15)
Promised
One 750ml can of black and one 250ml can of granite grey. Only a little used from each. This is the sort of thing you would paint a concrete garage floor with I guess. We bought it for that purpose, but we don't have the garage anymore. It's old, but still good to use. Use white spirit to clean brushes. Pick up from Portobello.

Vacuum cleaner (Portobello EH15)
Gifted
Quite old, but still very powerful! Electrolux Superbroom – works a bit like a dustbug (has no bag, you just empty it straight into the bin). Would suit a small flat and someone who can't lug around a large machine.

Incontinence pads/pants – male (Portobello EH15)
Gifted
Okay, so I had prostate cancer a few years ago and part of the recovery was getting my continence back. I used these pads/pants and they gave me a lot of confidence in the few months after my operation and thankfully, I don't need them anymore. Hopefully someone else in the same situation can use these? There is an unopened and opened pack of the pads I got at the beginning of the process, then an unopened pack of Depend pants and then an unopened pack of Depend Shield liners (you progress through the different thicknesses as you get better). The Depend pants are a S/M size, but the others fit anyone. Collect asap please.

About 40 pencils of varying shapes and sizes. Most liberated from hotels, but some branded art supplies. Mainly HB – although a few other types in there. Still a lot of drawing left in them. Suit an art club or similar?
